Miles of hiking/nature trails meander through Chadron State Park, connecting with more miles of trails that lace forest lands. There are short segments for a brief stroll, or rugged distances and climbs for the dedicated wilderness buff. All offer a chance to absorb the splendor of the area. Park-goers can also walk or drive to the scenic observation point on National Forest land by taking the spur off the main park road in the southwest corner of the park. Horseback trail rides and Jeep rides provide more spectacular views of the area. For those who truly want to escape the hectic pace of everyday life, Chadron State Park is the ideal locale. Here, one can literately retreat to the leisure of a bygone age.
